ABSTRACT:
A weft extending carrier for shuttleless looms adapted to insert single picks of weft into separate sheds formed by warp threads. The carrier is provided with an elongated weft finger one end of which is pivotally supported in the trailing end of the carrier and the opposite end defines a weft engaging recess or retaining hook that is biased in a direction to continuously urge the latter into a pocket formed in the leading end of the carrier. The retaining hook, in timed sequence with the weaving cycle is cammed outwardly from the pocket to release the pick of weft held thereby and provides a carrier which can accommodate a wider range of different types of weft than has been heretofor possible as well as providing a self cleaning feature that prevents the accumulation of lint in the gripping area of the carrier.
